A Police Cadet Corps, attached with a regimental band valued at GH¢2,000 for the Krachi Senior High School in the Krachi West District of the Volta Region has been inaugurated at Kete-Krachi.
The corps, comprising 49 female and male students and three officers, was inaugurated at an impressive parade that was reviewed by Chief Superintendent Paul Gyempe, the Krachi Divisional Police Commander.
That was after the cadet corps and the bandsmen had been trained for two months at the Police Training School in Ho under the leadership of Lance Corporal Philip Lomotey and Constable Michael Adzablatu.
This brings to six the number of senior high schools (SHSs) with Police Cadet Corps in the Volta Region and the second in the country with a regimental band attached.
Addressing the parade, Mr Musah Issahaku Yamba, the Headmaster of Krachi SHS, said the idea of the cadet corps in the school was to instil discipline in the students.
That, he said, would also ensure security, since the police was like a coin, with its two sides being discipline and security.
“The school, with a population of 1,090 students, cannot grow without introducing these young ones to some form of professionalism,” he said.
For his part, Chief Superintendent Gyempe urged the students to abide by the rules and regulations of the school and take their studies seriously in order to become responsible men and women in future.
Prizes were awarded to four students who excelled during the training in drills, academics, best behaved, hard work and instrumentalist.
Famous Agbesi was adjudged the Overall Best Cadet for excelling in drills and academics, while Reverend Sister Agnes Dzifa Agbeli, a tutor of the school, received a Special Award for Foresight which led to the inauguration of the Police Cadet Corps.
